Petbe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Egyptian mythology, Petbe was the god of revenge, worshiped in the area around Akhmin, in central Egypt. His name translates as Sky-(Egyptian soul Ba), roughly meaning Soul of the Sky, or Mood of the sky. However, Petbe may instead be a Chaldean mythology "semitic deity" introduced by immigrant workers from the "Levant", with his name being a corruption of the [[Hybrid word hybrid phrase Pet-(Ba'al), meaning Lord of the sky. Early Christians compared Petbe to the Greek God Cronus.
